My everyday shoe. Handles walk, jogs, standing all day, and runs that were not planned
Recommended in Feet Equipment
Comfortable, stable, and budget friendly. All around reliability makes this a perfect entry shoe to build your consistency. Check out the Glycerin 22 if you prefer something a bit more cushioned and responsive ($165).
